    How does any critic keep a positive score up for a non functioning game? Oh yeah, MONEY.

    I wouldn’t trust OpenCritics to tell me if a game is really shit or not.

    Starfield and Diablo 4 are rated “mighty” there and I find them rather “meh”.

      Open Critic doesn’t tell you anything, it just aggregates everyone’s scores. If you don’t like the scores then blame the critics.

        The problem is what passes as a critic is really really loose. Some of the reviews they get on there are pretty cringe.

          I mean, isn’t the point of OpenCritic to get as wide an opinion base as possible? Of course you’ll have a bunch of weird ones in there, but you hypothetically get the best overall view of a game.

    I played one match in the open beta before uninstalling. Gunplay felt super basic, just waves of generic enemies to shoot with mediocre gunfights.

      Tbf PD2 was the same way yet I had tons of fun with it. At some point the horde shooting is just about overall performance and resource management, not combat itself, while the main gameplay is doing the objective alongside it. I preferred going with stealth most of the times anyway.

      That being said, if the objectives sucks and combat is unchanged then there’s nothing to make it actually fun and yeah, that’s an issue.

      Never understood the appeal of a game purportedly about bank robberies being mostly about killing literally hundreds of cops, it’s not so much unrealistic as it is completely farcical. It would be like Al Qaeda flying a plane into the WTC and everybody in New York going about their business like normal the next day.

        I’m just sad. When I first played payday 2 it was on my crappy laptop. I had to turn everything to its lowest (even resolution) and turn off my internet (this really made it playable). I am sad to see that some kid will not be able to do the same one day.
